    Another Boyzone or Five. That's what I thought when I saw the band picture inside the CD. Just take a look at the way they dress and their short hair-cuts. Only singer Michael Majalahti has hair long enough to touch his shoulders. No, I'm not reviewing haircuts but the photo strikes me as Hallowed is a band in the melodic metal vein. Historically the bands in this business are long haired. Anyway, this five-song EP kicks off with the titletrack that has powermetal leanings. The keyboards also play a role along with the riffs. End Of The Age features a ballad too to catch a breath. Hallowed is a young band with an enthusiastic collaboration of its members. It's not top notch quality but nothing to be ashamed of either. Some of the playing is done very well. Forget about the hair and you'll hear some nice melodic metal.
